Chris Madden closed out the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series season in high fashion Saturday night – with a victory in the season finale at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, North Carolina.
Throughout the three days of action for the World of Outlaws World Finals, Madden showed he was a strong contender as he remained in the front of the pack every time he took the track. That finally paid off with a win on Saturday.
“When you’re fast the whole time there’s a little more pressure because you can’t slow it up,” said Madden. “It’s not like being slow and trying to get better.”
After picking number one in the redraw, Madden would start at the pole position. Tim McCreadie grabbed a number two to start in second. The battle for the lead between the two started from the drop of the green flag, as they raced door-to-door until lap seven, when Madden was able to gain the advantage.
With the help of a caution on lap 10, the field tightened and gave everyone the opportunity to move up the ladder. Over the next 15 laps, Madden, McCreadie and Josh Richards battled back and forth, with all three swapping podium-positions along the way.
A caution fell on lap 30, with Richards heading to the pits. Richards was able to make a hard charge forward from the back, ultimately finishing 12th.
The battle between Madden and McCreadie held out until the lap 48, when Madden was able to squeeze between lap traffic and break away. From there, he went on to score the victory.
“We tightened up from the situation we got into last night and just tried to have a better car and we got it too tight tonight and couldn’t cut around the bottom like (Tim McCreadie) could,” Madden said. “I found something there in the middle and started to run those guys back down by working that middle and finally got me a groove that we could carry a lot of momentum.
“I knew we weren’t going to have a problem if we ran into lap traffic but we did and broke my momentum but we put ourselves into position to win the race.”
“(Madden) led a lot of laps last night and you just don’t know where to be,” said McCreadie. “He got better and I thought there was a chance but he pulled a hell of a move (between two lap cars in turn 2) and I just got hung for a second and that was the race.
“(Madden) has helped me out a lot this week so it’s fun to race like that. We had a blast.”
Don O’Neal finished in third, with Eric Wells in fourth and Brandon Overton in fifth.
A trio of Peach State drivers led the second half of the top ten, as Zebulon, Georgia’s Shane Clanton finished sixth, with Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport in seventh and Chickamauga, Georgia’s Dale McDowell in eighth. Darrell Lanigan came home in ninth, followed by Chase Junghans in tenth.
